An interesting trailer, appeared in my RSS last night... Starts off looking a bit gash (aside from lovely pre-renderedness) but slowly looked more cool as the trailer went on.. I'm kinda interested
Does anyone know anything about it, or looking forward to it?

And here's one for ya: What is it that makes us keep coming back to this genre and often with high expectations? Is it because it's one of the few, if perhaps only, genre(s) which is guaranteed to play on your emotional state? As in fear? Hm, ponder this I shall.

So this preview was shown to a bunch of unsuspecting schoolchildren.

Someone is going to be in a lot of trouble for this.
On the other hand you couldn't ask for better viral marketing for a horror movie.

Gaming's very own Orson Welles is back again.
I suspect that whatever happens to 'Kara' it will somehow involve a leering shower scene.
I know I rag on Monsieur Cage, but I am genuinely looking forward to this.

After strange disappearances hit Tokyo’s population, it’s up to you to uncover the source and purge the city of a strange, new evil. Armed with your own mysterious abilities, you will face down the occult, unravel conspiracy theories and experience urban legends like never before.
Don’t fear the unknown. Attack it.
GhostWire: Tokyo is the newest title by Tango Gameworks, the developer behind The Evil Within. The game was revealed during Bethesda’s 2019 E3 press conference.
Tango Gameworks is known for its work in the horror game genre and while this game definitely seems to have spooky vibes, Tango notes that this is more of an action-adventure game. In GhostWire: Tokyo, players will have to travel through the city, avoiding harmful spirits and possibly getting help from friendly ones. The trailer for the game shows people disappearing and skeleton-like demons taking over, meaning it’s time to knock some skulls together to figure out what’s going on.
Official reveal trailer:
Platforms and release date are still unknown.

Darkwood is a lovecraftian top down action adventure horror game I've had my eye on for a while.
It just came out recently for 11 quid on steam.... http://store.steampowered.com/app/274520/Darkwood/
I was going to wait for a sale, but the developer has done something very interesting to combat "key reselling" which I was unaware of. They've released the full game on piratebay...
https://pirateproxy.cam/torrent/18469605/Darkwood_-_hotfix_3_(developer_s_torrent)
"Hi! This torrent was brought to you by the developers of Darkwood - Acid Wizard Studio. This is the latest version of Darkwood at the time of writing this (1.0 hotfix 3). Completely DRM-free. There's no catch, no added pirate hats for characters or anything like that. We have just one request: if you like Darkwood and want us to continue making games, consider buying it in the future, maybe on a sale, through Steam, GOG or Humble Store. But please, please, don't buy it through any key reselling site. By doing that, you're just feeding the cancer that is leeching off this industry. This torrent comes with no installer, so you can just run it from the mounted image, but we recommend copying the contents to your disk and running it from there. For more info on our story and why we decided to share this with you, check out: http://imgur.com/a/xVhDz Have fun!"
I was planning on waiting for a sale anyway, so I'll buy it when it gets cheap. Interesting tactic though!

Mods, please merge if there's a topic already.
Anybody watch this through? it's an anthology horror series in the mold of American Horror Story, but instead of the OTT melodrama that show works with, this attempts to be much creepier.
The first season is based on the Creepypasta Candle Cove. It centres on a man returning to his home town after being plagued by dreams and images of a scary puppet TV show from his childhood. Think an evil version of Captain Pugwash and you're pretty much there.
Structure-wise it's very much in the Stephen King wheelhouse, but tonally it's much more Silent Hill. The slow pacing and the unavoidable sense of dislocation's quite chilling. Well, at least for a while - sad to say I found it ultimately disappointing as it's laboriously slow and the quality of the performances a bit hit and miss. It also manages to get less and less frightening as it goes on.
Loads of stuff in it to like though, and I'd recommend seeing it through. A supercut trimming it to half the time would be great (something I reckon Stranger Things would benefit from, too) as I reckon SyFy stretched the content ultra-thin to make a season out of a story you could easily fit into feature film length.
I enjoyed it enough to look forward to the second season, though: The No-End House

I couldn't find a thread for this so apologies if a duplicate.
After playing this at EGX last year I picked this up today for it's paltry budget price.
If you liked Inside then just go buy Little Nightmares now. I'm I think about half way through and it is utterly brilliant.
It's looking like being one of my favourites games so far this year and that's saying something given the year we've had already.
Basically take Inside, a dash of Trapdoor, Little Big Planet and a dash of your childhood fears and you're there.
I urge people to not watch spoilers and take the plunge. I just hope the rest holds up to what I've played so far.
As info this runs at 60fps on PS4 Pro and at a higher res, looks fine on my standard model though.

Watched this on the weekend - had heard good things about it for a while.
Okay, so the plot isn't that original (it even jokes about it during the film) as it obviously is influenced by films like groundhog day. Haven't seen a horror try this time loop like this before though.
The lead actress (Jessica Rothe) is one to watch out for in the future. Sure, with films like this the looping day can get a bit tired but i think it pulled it off well and kept the running time at a decent 96 minutes. There are some good twists in the film and whilst it is not overly gorey or anything, it works really well. I have heard people call it a teens film and i can kinda agree with that but it was still worth watching.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-12-04-those-ubisoft-club-points-youve-been-accumulating-for-the-last-ten-years-will-soon-expire
So Ubisoft have decided to start expiring their Ubisoft Club points after 2 years, meaning that all your carefully horded points that are older than than that will be wiped out on April 1st, 2019. I think you have until March 2019 to spend any points that are due to expire.
You can see how many points you’ll lose here: https://welcome.club.ubisoft.com/en-US/units
Is this a travesty, or a shoulder shrug for people?
Personally, I’m going to lose over 900 points according the link above, but I can’t really find anything to spend them on (which is why I have over 1600 points in the first place).
Your thoughts?

All of your votes have now been tallied, and this has been hands down one of the greatest years for video games since 1998. Or was it 2001. Actually it might have been 2010… Anyway, what is definitely true is that in the last few years the breadth and variety of games available has been truly exceptional, and despite living in a “games as service” era where many publishers are relying on loot box revenue as their business model, there are just so many great games available that it’s possible to still make an informed choice to avoid it.
The big success this year has of course been the Nintendo Switch, with many people returning to the Nintendo fold after the less than successful Wii U saw many a fan pass over it despite the great collection of games. Now with added portability, but in a robust and convenient package, we can finally play all those games re-released again for a mere £50 each. A small price to pay to hide and play Mario Kart on the bog, instead of with your friends and family.
In other news, whilst everyone else was busy mortgaging their houses to buy more Switch games, a few power hungry gamers also sold their car as well, to invest in the XboneX, Microsoft’s answer to the ongoing problem of still being able to see pixels if you insist on playing games with your nose pressed against the screen for that added immersion. More graphically capable than anything ever released on the earth, and that’s the truth, because someone who has one told me. Several times.
That does leave the humble PS4 and its bigger brother however, who’s expanding library of excellent exclusives has been steadily catching out the unawares, bolstered by a slew of titles for the PSVR platform because it’s probably going to become really popular any day now. Once you’ve spent an afternoon getting it set up and calibrated, those 5 minutes you are in VR before chundering all over your friend’s sofa which is now your home will be the best you’ve ever spent.
Oh what’s that? Some good games came out on the PC this year? Sorry I thought PCs were what people used to use for Word processing and stuff before they invented Macbooks. Steam? Oh hundreds of cheap and increasingly brilliant and complex games sounds interesting, how much does a PC for gaming cost nowadays? Uhuh……………... Fuck off.
NEXT UPDATE: the top 20 begins.*
*final list note: for the top games of 2017 I was originally going to do a top 10, but due to the sheer number of great games 20 seems like the better number to count down from this year, and that means any game that scored at least 10 points in the poll. Don’t worry if some of your favourites don’t make it into the top 20, I will also be honouring other runners up after the main list and other category awards, as there were so many great games in there. I’m just doing them after the main event to preserve some mystery...

Anyone else looking forward to this? I can't wait for it! Looks set to be the best Summer of Arcade game this year (Apart from Dust maybe)

Love this trailer
So this is out shortly, cant find a thread. It looks brilliant, a sort of choose your own adventure teen horror flick. Would be fun to play in groups. It also has that blond cheerleader from Heroes in. Anyone pre ordered? I'd love to hear impressions.

Spoiler-free zone! Please keep all spoilery content for previous games in the 999/VLR thread
It's also probably worth keeping away from trailers/plot information for this game if you haven't yet played 999/VLR. Going in blind is the best way to experience those games!

Announced at Anime Expo 2015, seemingly out of nowhere. Expected Summer 2016 for Playstation Vita and Nintendo 3DS.
Following Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors and Virtue's Last Reward, the announcement of the third game in the Zero Escape series is quite a shock. After poor sales of VLR, the series' creator, Kotaro Uchikoshi took to Twitter with a dedicated English-language account to explain the current situation - even looking into Kickstarter, which at the time couldn't be utilised by residents of Japan.
Then, silence; Uchikoshi was working on some other products, including the writing credit for an anime ("Punch Line", which seems to revolve around looking at pants - watch it on Crunchyroll! or, don't), and the Zero Escape trail went quiet.
One day earlier in the year, this happened - a seemingly-random dump of information that was quickly picked apart. A website (4infinity.co) which contained some snippets hidden in its metadata. A website that now links to the Aksys Twitch channel, where the game was announced.
Not much more info to go on, but I'll keep this updated as news rolls in. The only video I could find of the AX reveal is below, but expect a proper trailer soon I guess:
You can watch the entire Aksys AX panel
. What's a Zero Escape?
Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors and Virtue's Last Reward, the first two entries in the Zero Escape series, are visual novel-style room escape adventures*, and are best experienced as spoiler-free as possible. It's generally recommended to play them in order, though I can confirm it's not essential as someone who played VLR first.
Both games begin with a protagonist who awakes to find themselves trapped in an unfamiliar location, wearing a strange watch-like device on their wrist. Progress is broadly split into two parts - Room Escape puzzles and Visual Novel segments. For those who haven't played a Room Escape-style game before - put simply, you're trapped in a room, and must solve puzzles to escape, by hunting for clues and interacting with the environment.
The Visual Novel segments are what really bring the game to life, though - unravelling the mystery of how you came to be trapped in a mysterious location, discovering the other eight people who share your fate, and seeking a way out. Your choices during these segments will decide your fate, potentially that of your companions, and perhaps even six billion others. Buy the previous games in the series

Not a fan at all, but I've always found Morrissey's interviews good value for money and always considered him to be self-aware and at least having a sense of his own ridiculousness.
I'm really taken aback by how defensive and unable to take criticism he is in this video. I never thought I'd hear Morrissey, of all people, refer to journalists as "haters", for goodness sake, and his moaning about his record not being played because of some organised conspiracy against him is just pitiful, paranoid and completely off base. The stuff he says about journalists having an agenda against him is simply based on his new record not being very good and his complete lack of relevance to anyone under 40, not some carefully constructed masterplan to undermine him by sending negative messages to his fanbase via the music press.
Concluding his miserable little moan with a sickeningly cynical message to the victims of the Manchester bombing completely undermined any credibility he might have had left.
Terrible cunt.

Welcome to the future! I know this is being discussed elsewhere, but it's something that definitely needs it's own thread in order to give people the heads-up of which games are being released with them in. Today, and in the future. It seems the vast majority of Xbone First Party have some element of micro-transactions. The most egregious example being Crimson Dragon. Here is a title that should have been a great short arcade experience, packed with re-playability through design. Instead the title has been bloated out and micro-transactions inserted. Forza too has a token-buying system in order for you to perhaps unlock that shiny car a bit quicker. Some people say it is simply a shortcut to eliminate the grind - I say, there should be no grind. Even before this perfectly great arcade games such as Ridge Racer 6, were completely crippled by grind when a short sharp focussed experience would have been far more valuable to all. It's the reason I will replay Plants Vs Zombies, yet never touch Plants Vs Zombies 2. I think the Killer Instinct model is fine, but understanding the nuances of these new systems is something that unfortunately I think we will have to look out for.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent developers Frictional Games have announced their upcoming horror game, SOMA, due in 2015 for the PC and PS4. This is what they've been working on while they let The Chinese Room play ghost stories with A Machine for Pigs:
